Neither the days of the hit nor the person's hitlist suggests that.

Users from Finland are often lucky in finding Hits when they travel abroad.

By coincidence, they always find bills from other Finnish users.

My guess is they travel exclusively on organized tours with finnish only tourists.

I don't think there is nothing suspicious about the Chinese hit. Luck just happens sometimes! :)

.......... and there is something true in the fact that travellers from a given country use frequently the same hotels, restos, etc... abroad, for different reasons:
- travel agents book some hotels and not other: they try to group their clients; useful for them not to spread too much, and useful for the clients because they meet other people speaking the same language
- blogs about travel (and other travel websites) give tips about hotels, etc ... it's easy to imagine that a finnish webpage is mostly viewed by finnish people.

for me it's not that extraordinary that people originated from one country spend their money on similar places when they are abroad :wink: :wink:

Of course it is not extraordinary, especially if you consider Hits with :note-50: bills. Most people travel with :note-100: bills, so it is perfectly normal they get :note-50: back as change when they buy postcards or stamps.

Hello everyone

I went to a local bank and got twelve Fivers from the teller (I asked for fives lol).
Turns out the numbers are sequential and the notes look new. Should I take a photo before I enter them, or should I avoid entering them at all due to their being sequential?

Thanks in advance

You should of course enter them. It is a good idea however, to enter them while they are still in your possession - IF one of them turns out to be a "hit", you can photograph them and have proof that you didn't fake them.

Thanks. I took a couple of photos already of the bunch.. now I will enter them. Next time I will ask the teller to give me the most used notes she/he has.. would be better..

These are just uncirculated (new) notes. Nothing special about that. If you want to have the chance to get a hit, you should indeed ask if they have old notes. However, uncirculated notes have the advantage that you can enter them a lot quicker than old ones.

Except that nowhere does it say anything about stamps or postcards.
